Summary of Child Labour Workshop 5

       

And in this workshop it’s stated that Child Labour should be Stopped and issues arising of child labours, Issues such as the child’s age, the type of work in question and cultural attitudes shape this distinction. Gauging child labour is further complicated by the millions of “invisible” child labourers, mainly girls, working in the home as domestic servants or home-workers. The reality that forces poor families to defy child labour laws raises doubts about whether legislation can be enforced successfully." In 1993, social workers and human rights activists were stunned when approximately 70,000 youngsters were unceremoniously thrown out of the Bangladeshi garment, The ILO Convention No 182 defines the worst forms of child labour as slavery and forced labour, commercial sexual exploitation, illicit activities and hazardous work.

It seems like the prohibition of child labor is not successful in many countries such as in the examples above and the number of child labour from ILO, even through all of these countries were signatories to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)4, legislated their own regulation with punishment on child labour. However, child labour still exists in these countries. Anyhow, it reduce the number of child labour, the main problem of this regulation is that some countries do not seriously enforce it, so it could not reach the expectation of this regulation.
